Title: Mediocre collection
Review: I liked some of Tiffany's hits. But this album shows a lot of her weakest material. A few of the songs from her '88 and '90 albums lack the excitement of the selections from her '87 debut album. They're surprisingly bland. Tiffany didn't have the conviction that her rival competition, Debbie Gibson, had. I would have liked an 18-song collection to have shown her variety from the MCA albums, not this limp, mediocre, badly thrown together album from 1996. It looks nonexistent for a compilation. It's no doubt that she faded very quickly after 3 years until her 2000 album brought her back into the scene again. This album doesn't showcase her music career quite well as I would have liked it.

Title: Great Sprimkler
Review: I am rating this product five stars even though I am having trouble with it jumping track. I think I have figured it out and will continue adjusting it. My yard is somewhat uneven and a little hilly in places. On the straight of way it does great and waters deeply even on high speed. I love the fact you can put it in neutral to water an odd spot not on the hose route. All in all it does a very good job.

Title: Three Months: Not much for the money.
Review: The Raintain Traveling Sprinkler worked great when I received it in early June. I used it a couple of times a week off and on throughout the summer, but last week it stopped working. It lasted about three months before the gears stripped out. Not a very good lifespan for the money I paid for it. Will I buy another? No. I guess I'll go back to moving my sprinkler or paying more for something that will actually last longer than 3 months. I loved how I could make it cover such large expanses of the yard by simply directing the hose where I need the sprinkler to do its work.

Title: Great, but not perfect
Review: The sprinkler comes partially assembled and finishing it is easy and does not require tools. Easy to set up and use. A few words of caution for its use:1) Be careful having it travel close to delicate plants. The force of the water two feet from the arms actually shredded some of my canna leaves. 2) The sprinkler will bog down in mud because of its weight. Avoid having it travel under low tree branchs that drip down and make puddles in the sprinklers path.The Raintrain sprinkler is ideal for large open lawns.

Title: VERY UPSET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I purchased this unit and payed the hefty one day expidite fee. When it arrived I was very excited until I opened the box and discovered the threaded coupling that holds the sprinkler arm on was missing. I called Nelson as instructed by the insert in the box and they told me it would take 2 weeks to get the part. I asked for a supervisor hoping she'd understand that I paid extra and needed this quickly. With NO apologies or sympathies offered for costing me extra or for the inconvience, she cooly said 2 weeks was the best they could do because they were so backed up. I guess with that type of business, losing one customer like me doesn't matter to them, so beware if you need replacment parts or your order arrives with missing parts!I am upset and disappointed with Nelson!

Title: Not working correctly
Review: Have had this product for only a month and have used it four times. I use it only on a flat surface and in a straight line from one side of my back yard to the other side. If I read the information provided with the product correctly, it has a high setting that is supposed to move at ~40' per hour and a low that is supposed to move at ~20' per hour. The first time I used it, it seemed to work fine but then it slowed down dramatically on the second use and is now very slow. On the high setting it now takes the unit I purchased ~7 hours to go 75'(~11 feet per hour). During the last use I heard a clicking sound from the unit as it moves (barely). I do not recall if it made this same sound the first three times I used it, but I believe there is a problem. I have neighbors that have this unit and have had no problems, so I believe it is just a defective unit. I will contact Nelson to return and replace it.

Title: New Gearboxes Are Junk
Review: I have had Nelson raintrain sprinklers for years, and in the past I had nothing but good things to say, but now that the new Bosch company has taken over I will NEVER buy anything from them again. The last time I had to buy a transmission for my tractor, it was 2008, and it cost $13.00. I just ordered a transmission last month, and in 3 weeks it has already broke, so I called them like I had in the past when I had a problem with a replacement part, in a nutshell, I was treated terribly, told I was out of luck that I would have to purchase another transmission. ITS ONLY BEEN 3 TO 4 WEEKS!! They are terrible!!! On top of that it cost me $24.00 and $9.00 in shipping. NEVER AGAIN!!! If you are from the BOSCH company you should be ashamed of yourself. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! It is cheap china junk now.

Title: good for awhile
Review: I got tired of how many times this jumped the track. I believe the gears are plastic, as well, it stopped progressing along the hose. I never abused my tractor sprinkler, always putting it away (fearing theft). I ultimately bought a national walking sprinkler and added the brass arms so i would be done replacing this expensive item for once and for all. [...] That item is expensive and heavy but is all metal and does a great job.

Title: Leave the watering to the sprinkler
Review: Free up more time for yourself as you let this nifty little gadget perform the arduous task of watering the plants and lawn. The sprinkler head rotates and travels down the length of the hose covering a large area and doing a much better job than any other method (besides an expensive underground sprinkler system). Great invention which we first saw the neighbor using and we were glad to find it on Amazon.

Title: awful
Review: not operating as it should. I've had it on a shorter hose than allowed, yet, the tractor just stops in the middle of the yard, and I've had 2 months of very water bills, because, I guess, I thought I'd leave it alone at night, and it would stop by itself...wrong...had a John Deere one, twice as much, but 3 times better...I should have kept it, instead of going for the cheapo :(

Title: Plastic gears. Not made like the old ones.
Review: My family had one of these for 20 years and it was awesome. I had to send mine back to Amazon after 2 weeks because the gears are now made of plastic and stripped out.The concept is great, but it just doesn't work with the cheaper materials.Also the older ones shut off with an in-line valve on the hose that the tractor ran into. This new ramp system with the button on the bottom of the tractor doesn't work. The tractor would hit the button like 80% slowing the flow enough so the spinner would stop spinning. This stopped the tractor, meaning it just sprayed the same exact patch of grass until you noticed it.Sad.Amazon gets 5 stars though for taking it back and paying return shipping on a freaking 20 pound hunk of junk.

Title: This is a good product
Review: I bought one of these tractors a couple of months ago. I used it about 3 times per week with a 100 ft hose. I like that the radius and speed are adjustable so I can control how much and where the water is distributed. My only gripe is that it occasionally gets off track when traversing uneven ground. So I have to check on it every half hour or so.

Review: The tractor seemed easy enough to use. It worked great for about a week. Then all of the sudden it quit moving forward and would just make a clicking noise.

Title: In praise of the LR Nelson 1865 Traveling Sprinkler
Review: I used to see a simular type of traveling sprinkler as a young boy in Orlando, Fl. I went on line and found the Nelson. I just received it today and put it to work, Excellent,,so much that I have just ordered another one. I will not need to put a sprinkling system in my lawn now. This is so much more cost effective and it is not a problem of laying out the hoses. All I want to say is,,,if you do not have an in ground system, buy the Nelson, it will do a perfect job of watering your lawn. It is built heavy to last a long time. Ervin Joslin

Title: Save you receipt!!!
Review: I sent mine back on the second day... It pulled less than 70 ft (in 2 seperate pulls) then the gear box started skipping. $8 to ship it back to the Peoria IL repair center. Repiars were quicker than the 4 to 6 weeks stated in the returns paperwork. When I called the repair center in the second week they said "Hold onto your receipt". The warranty period is two (2) years. I'm guessing I'll need it again.

Title: Broke After 2 Months
Review: This sprinkler worked great for the first two months, watering large areas of the yard a traveling along the hose as I had hoped, only occasionally jumping the ramp where I placed it. On one occasion, it jumped the ramp and ran until it hit the fence. When a couple of the interior plastic gears stripped out, it was a very quick decline when the remaining plastic gears stripped out and it became a stationary sprinkler. Now, it's useless and in the garbage. Design would be drastically improved with metal gears.

Title: Not as good as your neighbor's
Review: I bought this Nelson Raintrain after borrowing a neighbor's for several months. I thought I knew it would work for my lawn, since my neighbor's sprinkler worked for my lawn. I was wrong. There are apparently several design changes, but most importantly, this one will not stay on its track the way the neighbor's does. If I walk away for 15 minutes, I come back to find it happily digging holes a few feet away from the hose track. The only way I would recommend buying this sprinkler is if you can go back in time and buy one when my neighbors did.

Title: Great Time saver!
Review: I bought this when we re-seeded the lawn and I didn't have time to go move the sprinkler since I had my son less than a week earlier.The "tractor" as my 3 year old calls it has been a life saver. Our lawn looks great thanks to the 3 water settings!Like others have said, it takes a bit to get the hose set up correctly and we had multiple times where the wheels got stuck in the mud and dug some holes, but overall, I am very happy with this product.

Title: This Thing RULES
Review: Because a neighbor had one and loves it, I bought two; one for the front yard and one for the back. This is the coolest contraption since the George Foreman Grill.I am amazed at how well it works. This is no flimsy piece of hardware; I estimate it to weigh about 25 lbs. Thus far, I only have 2 suggestions: It would be nice if there was a way to allow the RainTrain to work if you connect two hoses together. The other is to include stickers (like those in a model car kit) so you can customize your RainTrain.

Title: Yuck on Raintrain
Review: I have used these sprinklers for quite a few years but have struggled with removing the axle caps for the last time to change out the housing. The screw drive seems to be very inferior to what they once were. If you miss catching the sprinkler when it doesn't make a curve and it runs against an obstacle it is mostly shot.Too bad Nelson don't make the gears as solid as the body itself. Might cost more but would be worth it. I am going to buy the all metal traveling sprinkler next.

Title: Water Efficiency
Review: This sprinkler is efficient both with water conservation in mind and time spent watering. This sprinkler has little evaporation due to the way it waters. Water sprays in a stream from the ends of the watering wands and not from multiple holes which create a lot of fine spray which can evaporate before the water hits the ground. Turn this sprinkler on at night to maximize water efficiency and sleep while your lawn is watered. Very little set up time and monitoring is required.

Title: Quality? Not here.
Review: A traveling sprinkler made in the USA (National Walking Sprinkler, Omaha, NE) costs more, but is 10-times better.We've owned two of these Nelson devices. They work pretty well when new, but the plastic gears soon deteriorate and then these 18-pound beauties are absolutely useless. Don't know if they can go in the recycle bin.There are a lot of reviews complaining about the gear problem. Take them seriously.The manufacturer could easily remedy this problem, but they have not.It's an expensive contraption, but, as another reviewer said, its best use may be as a boat anchor.Caveat emptor.

Title: Not "All That"
Review: THe thing worked only a short time per attempt before it went off the track or the sprinkler arms blew off from the water pressure. Can't turn up the water pressure above half on without a "blow out" occuring. Got tired of fooling with the darn thing and sold it on e-bay. I lost a little money but at least the old-fashined oscillating sprinker worked and worked very well. I would not recommend this sprinkler to anyone.

Title: Poor Man's Automatic Sprinkler System
Review: We have used one of these for about ten years with great success. The tractor can even follow the hose around gentle 10' radius curves. The little ramp clips on the hose and has a folding ground spike to keep it from slipping. When the tractor reaches the ramp, it pushes a shut off valve on the belly of the tractor. Very simple and effective. Part of our ramp finally snapped off, but it still works. We've never had a problem with the tractor. The adjstable spray wands allow you to regulate the size of the area covered. I suppose it can drag about forty feet of hose before it slows it down. That probably will vary depending on the depth and density of your turf and how straight the path is.You won't be disappointed; this is a time-tested classic!

Title: Fun, useful, and labor-saving
Review: I moved into a new house recently, with a big yard that's half sod and half recently-seeded dirt. Like a previous reviewer, I've been spending most of my free time moving sprinklers around.This travelling sprinkler was a gift from my father-in-law. It looked like a novelty product that the kids would play with, but it's become one of the most useful lawn care devices I've ever owned.I set mine up as soon as I get home from work and let it spend a few hours watering the sod while I have dinner with my family, take the kids to their sporting events, etc. It does a great job and gives excellent coverage, with very little effort from me.One note: as it says in the fine print on the side of the box, don't use this on a recently seeded patch of soil. I tried that before I saw the warning and the tractor got stuck in the mud and dug a trench across the back yard. My fault completely, but watch out that you don't repeat my mistake!

Title: Much too slow for large yards.
Review: The throughput is too low. I have a metered water timer. When I set the time to 2 hours using a oscillating or pulsating sprinkler, it takes 2 hours. With this Rain Train set to 2 hours it takes 4 1/2 hours to apply the same amount of water. It takes twice as long to water the same amount of grass. The other problem I've noticed is that yellow stopper device that turns off the rain train doesn't work. The tractor sits too deep in the grass and catches the bottom side of the stopper. I have not been able to get this thing to stop yet. The tractor turns well until it is dragging a lot of hose behind it, then it tends to go off track(hose) more easily.Where I have found good use for this sprinkler is my side and front yard. For small areas, the rain train is ideal. You can set the sprinkler to water an area as small as 15 ft and up to 55 ft. Of course, the bigger the area, the less water that gets applied per application.

Title: Bad nylon gears
Review: I sent an inquiry a few days ago to the company, and have not received a response. I bought a Raintrain from Do It Best in Champaign. It worked for a week, then ran over the stop block and stopped at a rock and kept running. Now it will barely move, and there is a clicking sound when it attempts to move. I assume a nylon gear was stripped when the stop ramp did not work. I want a replacement. I'm waiting for their response after a second inquiry today.

Title: A lot of convience
Review: I have used this type of water sprinkler for years. I live in an arid area where we have to water if we want to sustain foliage, so this type of traveling sprinkler is excellent for the convenience it provides. In my experience with this sprinkler, it wears out after a few years. Also they are delicate, you may have to reattach the wands from time to time. However, that seems to be the norm for this type of item no matter which one you decide on as I have owned several different brands. I would buy another should the need arise.

Title: Less than Satisfied
Review: I bought this item because of its reputation. At first I was very pleased with the item, it was making laps around the yard, and seemed to be doing great. So one night I drug my hose around, and made my nice track, and put the shutoff about 15 ft from the end of the hose. Well, I got up the next morning, and it was still going. It had come off the track, and had run into the flowerbed. Needless to say it was stuck. Just so you know I was using a 5/8" heavy duty hose, so I really wouldn't think it would jump off track. Now the gears are stripped and I had to order a new motor from Nelson. Cost me $23 for a new motor. Oh and did I mention this was only 2 weeks after I purchased the product. I love the product, and the concept just hate the plastic gears!

Title: POS
Review: 1 is way too many stars for this product. The main unit is cast metal and weighs perhaps 20#. The gears are light weight plastic and have a life expectancy of about 50 hours. That comes to $1 per hour cost of operation. Of course, there is no warranty. I understand they used to have metal gears and would last a lifetime. But alas, now they are made in China (in spite of what the catalog sheet says) and are junk. I wouldn't bother to try to use it, if someone gave me one - much less buy it!

Title: Not for new lawns being seeded
Review: I tried to use this on my brand new lawn which was seeded (i.e., not sodded). This was a bad idea and did not work. As soon as the ground beneath the Rain Train was damp, the front wheels started to sink into the ground. Before long, it stopped moving forward and the front wheels were completely sunk in.Because this thing is pretty heavy and the front wheels are very narrow, I cannot imagine this being usable for new seed-based lawns. Maybe it would work fine with sod.I will clean the mud off and store it in my garage until I have grass and try again and update my rating (probably next spring). Back to pulsating rotary sprinklers!

Title: Best sprinker in the world. ordered at Amazon.com
Review: Attach the Raintrain Traveling Sprinkler to the end of your water hose, and set the tractor near the begining of the hose. Turn on the hose and as the sprinkler sprays water around the tractor moves along the hose like it is on a train track. This saves a lot of work because we do not have to keep moving the sprinkler. It moves itself. When it gets to the end of the hose it stops and then you can turn off the water until next time. It is fun to use!!!!

Title: Nelson Traveling Sprinkler
Review: I have owned two Nelson Raintrain traveling sprinklers. Works as advertised and provides a good soaking for lawn. Original sprinkler, 20 years old, was all metal and seemed to work better than the new sprinkler with plastic wheels. Real advantage to set up and leave sprinkler "walk" acrosss lawn. No need to continuously change sprinkler position. Slow speed is really slow, but delivers a lot of water to lawn.

Title: Cheap plastic broke after 1 week
Review: I bought this because of all the good reviews here on Amazon. It worked great for 1 week. Then it started leaking a huge amount of water out the bottom and didn't have enough pressure coming out the sprayer to keep it going.I took it apart to try and find the problem. I was surprised that only the front body of the sprinkler is metal. The entire rear assembly, including the housing, wheels, gears, and all internal parts are made from cheap plastic. The molded housing that connects the water from the hose coupling (on the outside) to the sprayer (on the inside) had cracked and split, allowing the water to leak out inside the sprinkler.It was apparent from the damage that the housing had cracked from some force on the hose coupling. I have been very gentle with this sprinkler, and not abused it, or torqued it by the hose. Most likely it was from the force of dragging the 100' hose around, which is what it's supposed to do.

Title: Too bad they cheapened a good thing
Review: We've had a Nelson Rain Train for years. Each one lasted for years. We are on our third one. The others worked like a charm. The front wheels were heavy metal as were all working parts. Now we have purchased a real pain. It's hard to believe they could cheapen it so badly. We never know whether it is on or off since it will turn itself off for a blade of grass. It doesn't stay on track so we never know where it might have transported itself. We can't leave it alone for a minute. Now, after reading some reviews, we understand it might strip its gears at any point. Should have read the reviews before we bought but thought we were getting the previous quality.

Title: TO LITE TO STAY ON TRACK
Review: My sprinkler was purchased from Amazo.comThis is my third Walking Sprinkler. The last two I had were Nelson and I wore them out.The new model is different in many ways. IIt has a "motor" that drive the sprinkler, both other ones hadstops on each wheel that drove them. They also had metal, not plastic drive and guide wheels. These plastic wheel are the problem. The sprinkler is not heavy enough too stay on track. It will jump the hose, even on a straight run, and go off track.Having known this I would not have purchased this item. Another brand would be better, I'm sure.GDYURK

Title: Not good for a new yard...It gets STUCK!!!
Review: Theory is great....practicality and reality are not! I built a new house so my yard has been tilled and I planted new seed. The problem that I experienced is the raintrain gets STUCK. What happens is the raintrain waters in a circular pattern but when it travels to where it has already watered it gets stuck. It looks like they would have designed it to only water behind the raintrain. It may work better on an already established lawn but I do not recommend this product if you are wanting to water a new lawn.

Title: Best one yet
Review: I have used many different traveling sprinklers since I was a child and this is the best I have ever used. I currently own two, the John Deere which I have owned for 5 months and a Nelson 1865 Raintrain which I have owned for around 7 years. Even after its time in service, the Nelson is performing much better than the JD.I am a former military member and have had to take care of many different lawns and this sprinkler has worked well on all of them. The ability to adjust the speed of the movement and the circumference of the spray has been a lawn saver on many occasions. One of the best things about the Nelson 1865 is its ability to pull long hoses. I currently use a 150 ft hose and it has never slowed the sprinkler or pulled it off track. At the current price, you will never find a better bargain for a poor man's auto sprinkler system. I love this thing so much I have decided to order anther one to replace the John Deere.

Title: don't waste your money
Review: i'd have given it 0 stars if i could. the gears are made out of plastic, and are prone to stripping if the tractor is not used in optimal conditions. i broke mine 3 times (returned each time) when it would get stuck in the mud, against a small rock or something similar. when used in optimal conditions, this item works, but i'd recommend getting a rittenhouse instead

Title: Good Sprinkler
Review: I love this little tractor. Once I bought a long, actually very long, hose I can lay the hose round my lawn and let tractor go, then the tractor will follow the hose around the lawn by itself. I can put it in action then do my thing, and come back in a couple of hours or longer (depending on the speed you set).The only thing I think it can be improved is the speed. Even I set it the fastest, it still goes kind of slow. I know the designer of the sprinkler wants to make sure the sprinkler waters the lawn thoroughly but I wish that it could go a bit faster. Sometimes I don't want to soak the lawn that much.

Title: better as an anchor
Review: I have had this sprinkler for 2 years or so. I find it agravating as heck. I cannot leave if it is on. The ground needs to be flat and hard for it to traverse, or it will sink in soft, or muddy dirt, or just get stuck. The sprinkling effect only covers the outer radius of a circle, rather than the whole area of said circle. I am looking for a better unit. 1-star is the lowest they had to choose from.

Title: Great idea but doesn't get the job done
Review: I bought this sprinkler to deal with a newly seeded lawn that I needed to water daily. I liked the idea that this sprinkler can move through a relatively large area unattended. I dislike this sprinkler because it "jumps" the hose regularly (even though it is laid straight, nothing in the way), it's gears on high-gear stripped after half a season and finally it's just slow to cover the area it is trying to cover - my old sprinkler (back and forth fan style) put just as much water down in less time so even though I would have had to move it a few times - at least I could water the lawn in an evening. I haven't dumped it (yet)- but it's not worth the money...

Title: Quality Downhill
Review: I recently purchased my second "Raintrain" sprinkler and sadly, it's already kaput. My first one lasted over 8 years. While the metal body is designed to last forever, the important parts of this sprinkler are now made of plastic. After only a few short weeks, my new sprinkler's gears are already stripped and it doesn't move. It only sits there clicking. click....click...click...Save your money. It takes a serious sprinkler to be worth $60. This one no longer cuts the mustard.

Title: Works good when it actually works
Review: The sprinkler worked good for three days. After calling customer service at Nelson, I was told the motor needed to be replaced. As the hubs are a pain in the butt to get off the wheels to get to the motor, I haven't sent off the part yet. Not pleased with it only working for three days. Will be ticked if they don't pay postage.

Title: Good option for large areas to water
Review: This is an innovative product that is easy to assemble, set up and use. Really clever design.The good:1. Waters large areas of lawn and eliminates the need to constantly move hoses and sprinklers.2. Ease of use.3. Auto shutoff4. Powered by water pressure.5. Adjustable in terms of pattern and amount of water to be added to lawn.6. Really good price for what it does. Appears to have high quality construction and parts.The bad:1. Probably not great for newly seeded lawns. The weight of the hose will soon be too much for the tractor to pull and it will get stuck in the mud. It needs the root system of established grass or sod to maintain traction.2. Occasionally jumps the guiding hose and goes rogue. Not sure why.3. Rarely shuts off prematurely if a dirt clod or bump is big enough to push the shutoff button.Overall I am very happy with this item. It allows you to water a lot of grass without having to move hoses or even be present.

Title: Good concept sprinkler - poor reliability
Review: I bought this sprinkler in 2008 to water an acre or more of grass, only to have it 'derail' and get stuck - subsequently stripping the cheap plastic gears. So, I replaced it and last I knew, at the end of the season it worked fine. Well, it's now 2009, I just set it out for the first time and the gears appear to be stripped again for some unknown reason. I won't be buying this model again until the gears are as sturdy as the tractor!

Title: This ole tractor ain't what it used to be.
Review: Now on my third Nelson Traveling Sprinkler that has busted down during its second use. Seems like something is wrong in the gear box as it attempts to move forward, but just clicks and bounces back. And yes, the spray arms are aimed correctly. The first two were exchanged because the cheap plastic black tee connector cracked and leaked after there first use. One would think a brass tee would apply here. Not knowing how well this product was made in the past, but today Traveling Sprinkler seems to have cut corners in quality.

Title: worst sprinkler ever
Review: what a colossal loser this was. i have a level front yard. i set it up right, all i asked it to do was follow the freaking hose line like it was supposed to. this POS rain train never left the station. it traveled a mighty 3 feet before promptly flopping over and fixing one wand of spray on my open study window. repeated attempts with different hoses in different areas (with windows now shut) were met with equal failure.i'd rather stand in the yard and take 8 hours and hand water it than use this loser again. my grandfather warned me not to get this and he was right. sounds great in theory, works like !@#$T^!@# in reality.the only joy i got out of this thing was after 2 months when i couldn't take it anymore and heaved it as high as I could in the street and let it come crashing down until it was destroyed. i couldn't bear to foist it off as a freebie to one of my neighbors or even my worst enemy.

Title: waste of money and time
Review: I have tried every possible formation for the hose,and no matter what I do, the tractor rides right over the hose at every single turn. Even on straight hoses it rides over the hose if the hose it's pulling isn't in a straight line behind it. I have even bought different hoses. I bought a super expensive hose thinking the hardness of it would be difficult for the tractor to ride over, but it still jumps the hose. I bought a super cheap hose thinking that maybe a lighter hose behind it will make it easier for the tractor to pull and won't pull it off track. Neither worked. EVERY time I use this thing I have to watch it or I end up watering the neighbor's lawn. Today when I tried it with another new hose, thinking I'd finally bought the perfect hose for it, I came to check on how it did with the first turn and found it in the middle of the street watering the street. A HUGE disappointment!

Title: this stuff is great
Review: What more is there to say? Wish it wasn't so crazy expensive, but if you're doing a wiring project on a boat, or really anything that is exposed to the elements, there simply is no other way to do if you care about your people and equipment. This stuff is made to last and to withstand the elements. I bought a used 21' center console recently and was appalled at the wiring on the thing. Nearly burned the boat down due to a short the first time I plugged the batteries in and tried to test the accessories. Decided at that moment to re-wire the whole darn thing and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. This heat shrink tubing makes the process so much easier than it could be and I know that when I am done, my electrical system will be bulletproof for many years.

Title: "We have no blindfolds senor, we are a poor country."
Review: The original 1979 version of The In-Laws is certainly showing its age, not least in the relatively low laugh-ratio in the first half. But there's still much to enjoy in this odd couple comedy where a hapless dentist finds himself wondering whether his prospective addition to the family's father is an out-of-his-tree fantasist or really is a CIA superspy, especially once Richard Libertini's insane South American dictator turns up, while James Hong's aircraft safety lecture in Mandarin is worth the price of admission on its own. Alan Akin and Peter Falk play off each other so well that it's a real shame that their only other starring partnership, the problem-plagued Big Trouble (1986) is so very poor that they never got re-teamed again.The only extra is the trailer.

Review: I like Peter Falk, but this is the absolutely WORST movie I have ever seen in my life. My husband agrees. They say it's zany and hilarious, but it is NOT. Terrible acting, terrible screenplay. We were duped, as we love the 2003 The In-Laws with Michael Douglas. Thought that it should be at least a little funny, being the original. Ugh. Don't buy.

Review: Maybe this film was really funny 30 years ago, but no offense it's no funny at all in this century. I watched this film thinking it was good since it had so many positive reviews, but I'm very disappointed. Worst in-laws film, at least by today standards it's terrible. I'm 32 years old (maybe the other reviewers are from another generation??), but this is awful. People of my age and younger, don't waste your time with this.

Title: Falk and Arkin are just brilliant!
Review: By far this comedy is a total laugh riot! Peter Falk is the foil to Alan Arkin's straightman. The two play off each other so well. An extremely well crafted script and dynamic performance from the Hong Brother's Airline pilots to the insane general with a painted hand as his second in command! Pure insanity and a belly buster from start to finish. This is a must for any pure comedy fans!
